First off, I'm a big Vela fan and I think he has a ton of potential. However, I just don't see him getting a ton of 1st team playing time anytime soon. I fear he's going to be the guy for us in the Carling Cup, but that's about it. Wouldn't it just be best for Wenger to send him out to a lower level Prem club or Championship squad instead of letting him sit for us another season?
I'm wondering if Arsene is waiting to see how he does with Mexico in the World Cup. Mexico will definitely use and depend on him, and it could be his "coming out party" so to speak. Even still, with RVP, Arshavin, Bendy, Eddie, Chamakh (most likely) and Vela, someone's gotta go.
